JOAP
So, I've been interested in <a href="http://www.jabber.org/">Jabber</a> for a while. My interest flagged for a bit, but when we needed to have on-line meetings for the Pigdog <a href="http://www.burningman.com">Burning Man</a> trip, I figured Jabber was a natural fit.
Since then, I've been dicking around with various Jabber coding, and it's kind of become a madness. I now maintain a <a href="http://jabberx.jabberstudio.org">console-mode Jabber client</a> as well as its accompanying <a href="http://iksemel.jabberstudio.org">C library</a>.
After delving into Jabber so much, I got fixated on the idea of using Jabber as distributed object framework. After a while, I wrote a spec for the protocol I thought up, called <a href="http://www.jabber.org/jeps/jep-0075.html">JOAP</a>. It's been about all I've been doing for the last 4 months, and it's been fun. Check it out.
